Jul 22 - My cousins rock!

I just got off the phone with my mom. She said my cousin Barb and her husband Pete are, at this very moment, kayaking the whole length of the Mississippi. Yes, that's from Minnesota to Louisiana. In kayaks. THEN, if they still have some spare time upon arrival, they will go along the coast all the way to their parents' home in southern Florida! I gotta say they're cool dude. Real cool. That puts our eleven-day hikes to shame. They expect to take 2-3 months.
